To the surprise of many, Michael Carrick will continue to be in the dugout for Manchester United as they face Chelsea on Saturday. During their eight-game winless run in all competitions, United have allowed 15 goals while scoring six, and off the pitch, everything is unraveling, with players and fans alike questioning the direction of the club.

United have been in this position before, and it has usually led to a change of manager and a rebuild of the club from the ground up.

But what's different is that during this rut, players are publicly speaking out. While things will sometimes leak via undisclosed sources, players saying the quiet part out loud about what's going on with the club is not a good look.
